AAMU Receives National Endowment for the Humanities Grant

The National Endowment for the Humanities announced Tuesday that Alabama A&M University is among the awardees of $41.3 million in grant funding to support projects nationwide. According to NEH, the grants will support vital humanities education research, preservation, and public programs. 

The AAMU project – From Alabama to New York: How the Great Migration Shaped the Harlem Renaissance – is co-directed by Assistant Professor of Secondary Education Nathan Blom and Assistant Professor of Political Science Stacy Carter. It creates a new three-week institute in combined format for twenty-five K-12 teachers on the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance. 

“These 280 new grant awards underscore the wide range of exemplary, fascinating, and impactful humanities work that scholars, practitioners, and institutions are conducting in all corners of the country,” said NEH Chair Shelly C. Lowe (Navajo).

Other funding will support public humanities projects such as films, exhibitions, podcasts, and community discussion programs that bring humanities ideas and experiences to large public audiences.
